Concussion: Vomiting, fever, mental status (alertness, sleepiness, etc.). Concussion is something to worry. If he passed out when he fell, he had a concussion. Vomiting indicates high chance of concussion. Being lethargic means there may be a bleed in the brain. Being tired in the evening is probably fine as we do get tired. I would still take him to er to be on a safe side even if no obvious symptoms present.
